I can't remember when I last took it, am guessing about 5-7 days ago.
I am meant to take 50mg a day. I seem to have ran out. Ordered more this morning from GP.

Feel so daft! I've had so much on my mind and have neglected myself, but then that makes things worse and I'm pretty sure I'm feeling the physical effects of not having it. (I've had a stonking cold all week but thinking on it, I reckon some of the things I've been feeling are also likely down to not having the anti-anxiety tablet too).

Anyone done this before? Did yu feel unwell? When I get my prescription do I just start again?

Sertraline withdrawal can be awful and have many symptoms, so chances are you've had at least a bit of that. You're not supposed to stop it suddenly.

you should be fine just starting taking it again, 50mg is not a high dose. If you tapered on to it to start with, i.e. 25 mg then 50mg, you might want to do that.
